How did you lose the password? did you delete something? or change something? make sure you really have lost your root password before you reinstall though. -- Mike McNeese Linux registered user # 248955 currently running Mandrake versions 8.0 and 8.2 If obstacles are all we see, then we've lost sight of our goal!

You have installed Linux in a FAT32 partition? If so then that is a really bad idea. FAT32 file systems have no concept of 'permission bits' used in Linux, and every file on the partition must have the same 'permissions'. You will find some Linux applications will not run at all if they cannot have permissions set the way they require. I recommend you reinstall Linux in a proper file system. Reiserfs, XFS or Ext3 are preferred. You must also define a swap partition (around 2X memory size with a max of about 400M), and if you intend to become a long term Linux user a separate partion for /home is recommended so you do not destroy your user data when upgrading to a new version. Once you have installed Linux correctly you will still be able to read any data you have stored in your Windows FAT32 partition. By default Mandrake will mount your Windows partition as /mnt/windows You can browse to it from any file manager such as konqueror. derek Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Just type the command: mount into a console. One of the lines that comes back to you will probably look a little like this: /dev/hda1 on /mnt/windows type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,umask=0) This is my windows fat32 partition. So if I want to access the files on it, I just go to /mnt/windows. Check to see if they are already there. If not, post again and we'll walk you through getting them mounted.
